beginner
प्राणेनैवास्मिंलोके ज्योतिर्भवति। स यावत्प्राणो भवति तावदस्मिंलोके भवति।

prāṇenaivāsmiṃloke jyotirbhavati | sa yāvatprāṇo bhavati tāvadasmiṃloke bhavati |

"Through Prana alone one shines in this world. As long as Prana exists, one exists in this world."

What This Means:

All human glory and ability comes through the life force. Without it, there is no worldly existence.

Going Deeper:

The "shining" refers to all abilities - speaking, thinking, perceiving. All depend on the conscious life force.

How To Apply This:

Recognize that your abilities and achievements all depend on the gift of conscious life.
